My wax melts

I was thinking the same thing!

Looks like palm, and if it is thats a fantastic idea. Would cost a butt load to make but they look good! What kind of retail are you going to set them at?

Bruce

yes that is palm wax and I sell 8 of those for $6.99

and actually the cost is not that high to make them! Each one wieghs just over an ounce and I was afraid the bag wouldn't hold that many!

As a matter of fact, when I added these to my shoppe they sold out quicker than my candles! :laugh2:

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much! I am a palm wax addict now! LOL

has anyone geussed what mold I used to make these??????? :laugh2:

The one on the left kind of looks like an ice cube tray - but more angular.. and smaller.

The right one looks really oval...thinking ... t h i n k i n g ... all right already I give up!

:rolleyes2 And when I find out I think it may be one of those "DUH - why didn't I think of that?" moments.

Thank you everyone!!!!!!!!!! They do so fantastic in the simmerpots!!!!

Okay a little history on the mold I used! :laugh2:

One dreary cloudy morning, I cranked up one of my melting pots on my stove and thought it was my palm container one. Well it was my palm pillar one :rolleyes2 So since I was in the kitchen at the time (my molds I use for left overs was downstairs), so I started looking for something I could pour the wax into but I could replace later on! I opened the last cabinet and waaalaaaaaa one of my ice cube trays!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh2: I am thinking "Man this wax is gonna melt this tray and I woould have a big huge mess!!!!!! So I watched it til it started to cure and felt that it was gonna be okay, so I ran out to TARGET and bought all of

their 2 for $1.00 Ice cube trays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLOL One for each scent!!

Then I went to WALLY WORLD and bought me 2 presto pots and have used them ever since and they are wonderful!!!!!! Since I dont' have a stove downstairs I needed something i could heat the wax in and reading the posts on those pots I ran out and bought the last 2 they had on the shelf!!!!! :laugh2:

I'm gonna try to use some ice trays as well. I found out today that palm doesn't like silicon too much. It comes out easy, but leaves the mold a mess. What kind of palm are you using? I tried some container frost palm and it worked well.

Hi Tryppnotic I wouldn't use frost container wax in silicone molds! You need a pillar palm wax for those molds! that is why it left a mess in your molds

Great job. I wont use anything else but palm for tarts. So easy to pop out and no need for freezer to get them out. Love it and so do my customers.

dcroome, I think the palm wax gives off a better scent throw cold and hot!

That is what my customers tell me! and that the scent goes everywhere in the house when they are burning them!

I've poured in Ice Cube Trays before - but mine were more square and chunky. And I loved the look of yours so I ran out to Target but no 2/$1 trays there. :( The ones they did have looked like the same shape but were $1.49 each! They are white and made by Sterilite...is that what you got? The local Dollar Store carries that brand so if it is the same I may be able to pick up some there!

I only sell at the base craft fair twice a year and at a small shop in town. Been to your site and will try to stop at the store the next time I have to go to the VA!

I think they are the perfect size. Congrats on the packaging, too!
